    Tater,

    I am baffled.

    Where is that scripture? I cannot find it.

    Checked Strong's and two bibles.

    Are you sure that picture isn't from the FDS?

    I doesn't matter what jesus wanted what matters is what people after him wanted.

    26 “He replied, ‘I tell you that to everyone who has, more will be given, but as for the one who has nothing, even what they have will be taken away. 27 But those enemies of mine who did not want me to be king over them—bring them here and kill them in front of me.’”

    Jesus Comes to Jerusalem as King

    28 After Jesus had said this, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem. 29 As he approached Bethphage and Bethany at the hill called the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples, saying to them, 30 “Go to the village ahead of you, and as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, which no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it here. 31 If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ say, ‘The Lord needs it.’”

    So an unaccurate shit graphic and now this.

    Bad context. Go back further than verse 26. It is a parable.

    Embarassing.

    No, I think he was guiding us all to personal relationships with Him and His father, WITHOUT any man made constructed hierarchy to worship Them. We seem to have seen the consequences of this error.

    Tater,

    Soontobe answered before I did.

    Noted in the Diaglott and noted in wikipedia under Herod Archelaus is bloody history that Jesus referred to in the parable.

    Wiki notes Luke 19 at the bottom of their article.

    I have to turn in for now. But I hope to get a better go at this post.

    The earliest gospel was written down 30 years after Ieshua (if he did exist he probably wants you to call him by his real name, not a Greek to Latin to Modern English translation). Most of the New Testament was written by Paul, he never even met Ieshua and took the stories and enforced a belief system into a very structured religious way. Considering he was decades after Ieshua, in another region, with nothing but here'say to go on, goodness knows what anybody's intentions were.

    Any man that stands on a mountain telling people how to live wants to be noticed. Very L Ron Hubbard.....

    He didnt offer anything new in anything he said.some things he said was very moral, some things he said were very immoral.

    I don't know whats true, I wasn't there. The people that were there at that time killed him as a blasphemer. They obviously didnt believe him (despite the bible saying dead people from the tombs overwhelmed Jerusalem when he died), the Jews still feel he was not divine.

    have you researched how many messiahs there were at that time? There were several with the same name even .... Ieshus.

    i guess my point is... It really doesn't matter. It doesn't offer anything to us.... The bible is evidently untrue.

    Jesus' words dignified the poor. He didn't rob them. The stories say he healed people and treated women well.

    Paul may have laid the groundwork for organized religion without intending it.

    It is a stretch to equate Jesus with L. Ron Hubbard, Snarl & Racket (Couldn't resist!)

    I can't get too bent about mispronounced names. My folks called me MAY-va for 21 years. I lived in Ireland at that time , and knowing my name was Irish, came to find out it had been mispronunced all along. It is said there- MAYV.

    I like your new Avatar, Snarl, and I won't misprint your name after this, even though I'm feeling naughty.
